I’m 47, and I have 60 lb to loose. I have already lost 17. The last 5-6 years have been very stressful for me and Within the last 5 months I’ve been on this journey to make myself a priority, and figure out who I am. I’m looking for motivation, support, and accountability!3

I decided last week I really need to start doing meal prep. It's tough since I work 7 days a week, but my food budget has been absolutely outrageous, and a lack of "easy" meals sees me eating out WAY to often. Trying to come up with some ways to make it happen. Grocery delivery for starters, but found they were "out of stock" of several of my key items, and of course, you don't find that out until they're delivered. I just ran with what actually showed up, but the variety in my meals for this week will be seriously lacking because of it
So, that seemed like a great idea at first to save me some serious time, but not sure that's much help when 2 out of 3 proteins weren't included, a major ingredient/sauce for a main dish wasn't included....so not sure that's going to work so well.
Hoping I can dedicate myself to cooking/prepping one night a week and get enough together that I won't fall prey to my usual excuses. This week I ended up cooking Monday night, but I think I'd prefer to get it done on the weekend. Main issue here is shopping time vs when I can get around to cooking (with roommates, fridge space is pretty limited).3 -
I got some of my favorite chicken breasts on sale so I decided to make Greek chicken. This looks like it will be so good. I will grill it tomorrow or Saturday. Yogurt marinated chicken is so moist. I'm going to make Greek oizza with spinach and feta with some of it Sunday. I also oven pan fried my favorite chicken sausages. They were marked down fro $6/lb to $1.79/lb! I have enough cooked protein in my fridge to feed all of you! Lol

@melissa6771 - I'm going to have to try the yogurt coated chicken. I'm not a huge chicken fan because a lot of times it's too dry.
I thought you last night. My husband bought some shrimp and scallops to grill. He did the grocery shopping this past week. I said "Oh, were the scallops on sale? They've been so expensive." His reply..."I have no idea, I just grabbed them." I look at the sticker on the wrap..."$20/lb?!" He's like "What??!!!" Bwahahaha. Yeah, that's how men shop.4 -
I'm 43 and finding it so hard to get out of the 140's. Although being in my 40's I can say now that I have changed my way of eating I feel better than I have in a long time!2

Hi! I'd love to join your group here. I've been away from MFP since the fall. I got sick, had surgery and gained the 8 pounds of my last 15 back. I'm so mad about it. It was just a struggle to lose those 8 and now I have to lose them again along with hopefully the following 7.
I'm 48 and short, and I'm sure you understand, that really puts a damper on calorie cutting since we supposedly use so little just to be alive. I recently started weight lifting and am now back to mountain biking a couple times a week so I'm hoping that I can at least get down to below 150 (I'm 155 now and 5'3") before my 30th high school reunion in July. It's such slow going....

@mom23mangos ha! $20/lb is insane! I hope they were good! They're going on sale Sunday here for 9,99/lb and I'm trying to resist. I've eaten so many in the past couple months. I'll let you know how the chicken is. I'll probably grill it tomorrow. I can't image it would be bad, lots of good ingredients in the marinade.0 -
@HoneyBadger155 maybe try some of those sheet tray meals where you make 3 diff kinds of chicken on one plate and toast the veggies on another tray. I think they put the different chickens on aluminum foil. You could do a Greek, fajita and teriyaki maybe to keep some variety...
good luck, that does sound like a tough schedule to have to prep during!1 -

What is your goal? I'm having a struggle right now to get out of the 160's but I'm only 6 pounds from goal. Time and patience.Hi! I'd love to join your group here.

That Sucks! To get through the last 8 and have to do it again. You can, just keep working at it. What rate of loss are you doing and what's your calorie budget?0 -

I thought I was the only one having this problem! Haha, I will be more understanding now, it's just in their genes!

Hi all! I’m forty-five with a birthday at the end of this month. I have 15-20 lbs to lose to reach my ideal weight. I have been on a roller coaster of motivation but am doing pretty good this time. Would love to have like minded and age women to help stay motivated. Please add me1

I’m at 1200 calories per day and eat back some of my exercise calories because I seriously cannot survive on 1200 per day. I was losing about 1/2 a pound a week but I was walking 2-3 miles at lunch, then sometimes walking at night with my husband as well. There were also days that I mountain biked hard and walked. I did start lifting in November and only took 3 weeks off for surgery. I’m really hoping some of my gain is muscle. I haven’t been real restrictive over the winter with calories over the winter, hence the gain.
Back to lots of biking now that the weather is nice. I’m hoping adding that will make the scale move. Thanks!
